Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system analyzes an environment specification document that specifies a proposed configuration of a full-stack environment for a computing system and that describes infrastructure, middleware, and application elements. The system correlates the environment specification document with an environment instantiated on the computing system from the environment specification document. The system determines an impact of changes in the proposed configuration on the environment instantiated on the computing system, and configures the computing system in accordance with the proposed configuration based on the determined impact. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for analyzing an environment specification document in substantially the same manners described above.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for recovering from a partial failure of a virtual port chain (vPC) domain. The first and second vPC peers may be paired to create a vPC having a virtual address. An endpoint host may communicate with a network via the virtual port channel. The system may detect that the first virtual port channel peer is down. During or after the first vPC reboots, the reachability cost for the first vPC with regards to the virtual address can be set to an inflated value. The first vPC peer may also delay its bring up time while it synchronizes its vPC state information with the second vPC peer. The second vPC can continue to advertise the association between the endpoint host and the virtual address. Upon completion of the synchronization, the first vPC peer may bring up the link and restore the reachability cost.

Abstract: Wi-Fi flows are intelligently bridged in a software-defined network (SDN) controller of a wireless communication network that centrally coordinates data plane behavior. A default mode tunnels packets received at an access point to the SDN controller for layer 2 routing decisions. A bridging policy concerning bridging of specific types of traffic flows for the wireless communication network is received at the SDN. Data plane traffic flow for each of a plurality of access points distributed around the wireless communication network is centrally monitored. New data streams tunneled to the SDN controller are matched to bridging policies with deep packet inspection. Responsive to matching, the tunnel mode is converted to a bridge mode by sending a rule concerning the new data stream to the access point. As a result, subsequent packets of the new data stream are transferred at the access point without tunneling additional packets to the SDN controller).

Abstract: A method for refining search results. The method includes receiving a search query and in response to determining the search query is a compound search query, the method includes parsing the compound search query into at least two sub-queries. The method includes performing a search for each of the sub-queries and receiving a set of results from each search. The method then includes receiving a selection of a received result from one of the results sets and performing a second search using the selected received result and a sub-query not associated with the selected received result.

Abstract: A virtual device includes multiple devices connected to operate as a single device. A first one of the devices is configured to determine that the first device connects to a second one of the devices via a first link; identify a second link; determine that the second link connects the first device to the second device; and automatically aggregate the first link and the second link to form a link aggregation with the second device based on determining that the first device connects to the second device via both the first and second links. The first device is further configured to transmit packets to the second device via the first and second links of the link aggregation.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating customized overriding of data for maintenance of software applications in an on-demand services environment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method includes duplicating first data of a first data set into a second data that is placed in a second data set. The first data relates to a software application at a computing device. The method may further include amending a portion of the second data at the second data set. The amended portion of the second data corresponds to an unchanged portion of the first data. The method may further include facilitating running of the software application based on the first data while referring to the amended portion of the second data and ignoring the corresponding unchanged portion of the first data.
